Edgar Allan Poe's "Annabel Lee" focuses on which element of gothic poetry?
stiv31 [10]
I say Tragedy.
I have read Edgar Allan Poe‘s “Annabel Lee”
That saying, during the whole poem, I had the vibe of tragedy rather than terror. He is losing his precious Annabel. Which is more “devastating” or “tragic” if you will. So I go with B.
Have a great day sir/m’am!
